Klay in Dallas will surprise most people in how well he does, Kyrie will play a big part in that.
I’m worried about the defensive tho he a different defender than Derrick jones jr
Jones was guarding different positions and different play types
I don’t think klay have that versatility
Plus the hustle plays like diving for balls and shit like that
@@nitoshadow I agree, I think he can guard bigger wings better than quick guards. Lively and Gaff will help with that some too.
They added Klay Naji & Grimes. All amazing 3poimt shooters and defenders even though klay has slightly digressed but still great roster and one of the deepest bench ITL. Also spence, great ball handler and can create shots and clutch and was a huge part of that 2022 WCF run. Also a 7’5 defensive stopper. They were just a few pieces away from beating Boston and I think they’ll be able to this time with hopefully a HEALTHY Luka and Kyrie getting over the hump. Whoever they met, I think they will beat. They should be the favorites, no doubt💯💯
OKC
@@Vichinsky-ox8pxthat series could go either way both teams got better equally but dallas has more experience🤷🏽♂️
I don’t think klay defense can match what Derrick jones jr did on defense and all the hustle plays
Yes he a better shooter but jones jr do the small winning plays
@@jakobvapino OKC has a better team though
@@Vichinsky-ox8pxthat’s what people said last year too
Him not having to run around saves his legs
This comment made me believe lowkey, ray Allen 2.0
yeah they think him standing in the corners gonna be so bad but its more good then bad
Dallas was 3 wins away from a championship and we're still questioning can Luka win it all?
Well he didn’t win it so yes, we still uave questions
@@BRONCOBOY7575 no but he's compared to Harden and already led a team further at 25. Let me guess you picked the Mavs in the finals last year
Klay doesn't have the legs at his age to be doing all that movement offensively and play defense klay need to adjust and be a spot up shooter
his age? the man is only 34 lmao. it has to do with his past injuries absolutely nothing with age. physical prime is 30-40 overall
@@Jordanbiggs1473he’s had 2 bad injuries
@@Jordanbiggs147334 is old for basketball. These guys play ball at an early age and overtime basketball players legs/back wear out, then add in injuries. I’m no where near the player these professionals are and my right kills me every time I step on the court of my local gym. I can only imagine playing ball all my life, rolling ankles and all.. my legs would age in dog years.
@@Jordanbiggs1473quit yapping dude torn acl and Achilles tear in back to back years no one expects Klay to be the 3 n D he was in years past
Klay ain't no automaton. He'll adapt quick. And his knees gonna be saying, whoo, thank you mf...
I love how everyone thinks Klay is just going to sit in the corner. It's called coaching and gameplans. They have new players and personal. I know this is shocking but maybe the coaching will makes changes and adjustments🤯 I know, absolutely crazy to think of
can they turn back time and give Klay legs? no, crazzyy
@@roycedot Butthurt Warriors fan I see. It's okay dude. He got you 4 championships, be happy. Quit being so salty
@@tonydavis6487 how you can be so confidently stupid is comical.
As a mavs fan idk cuz kidd ain’t make good adjustments in the finals
And Luka gonna have to change his style to help other players thrive
Can’t play like harden in Houston
@@tonydavis6487He’s not salty it’s the truth yall act like your getting prime Klay
Zion is learning that proper diet works. If he keeps it up, hes going to be a force in 2026 season. Shit even besides basketball, hes going to be a f**king unit.
One thing I noticed about life is people don't take advantage of there situation, if I had a 250 million dollar contract , I'll be the ultimate specimen
It's easy to say that but what if you were literally averaging 34,9 and 9 and was already one of if not the best dude in the league ...you gotta look at it from their perspective...if it ain't broke don't fix it type vibes
@@Lyrunfromda214 I agree witchu famo ,we'll see in a few weeks tbh salute
“Can you win a championship with a guy like Luka?” Bruh, he was literally just in the Finals. What is Haslem smoking?
They gotta use Luka like Lebron; put pressure on the rim at all times. I think Gafford is the man out if they want to use Klay correctly. They gotta need a stretch big like Kleber to be effective. The biggest issue for Dallas is team shot creation, and player needing their touches. Klay is going to be similar to Mike Miller or Kevin Love. Dallas has to mirror Cleveland 2016 or Heat 2012 for success
Last proved they can play d but their offense got holes in it. Klay can guard the best wings, plus they added Quentin Grimes for that too. Naji Marshall too, hopefully not too much of dropoff without Derrick Jones. Mavs will be back in the mix next year.
@@getmoney6942I’m a mav fan and we do NOT want Klay on the best wings
@@JonathanWoodall so you rather Luka or Kyrie use their energy on that, where they are better off focusing on offensive side of the ball. It’s better to be a master at your role than juggling multiple responsibilities. The team set their course, you should now understand realistic expectations for each player. Playing defense and hitting 3 is Klay role. If Kyrie/Luka can keep a body on weaker links they win a championship it’s that easy
@@getmoney6942 nah, i mean he’s doing to have to some depending on lineups but we have Naji, PJ, and Grimes for wing defense. PJ is most likely going to get the hardest wing matchup in the starting lineup unless it’s rly point of attack focused need. But just because I don’t want Klay on the best wings doesn’t mean I want Luka and Kai. They’re both guards… not wings lol.
biggest issue is not "team shot creation" - it's they have no shooters or defense. They got to the finals because they stepped up both but it was an anomaly - Derrick Jones is not somebody you rely on to knock down 3s. They stopped making open 3s in the finals
Klay said he watched the finals... That's why he chose the mavs cause he would fit perfect. I ll take klay word over these dudes.
First time Mavs went to the finals it was with small ball. They know not wtf they’re talking about.
*2022
They beat the Clippers without Kawhi, OKC with Shai who has a single playoff series win and the Timberwolves. They get credit for winning, but let's not act like they were tested. We saw what Boston did to them.
@@joshuabernardino4310bruh clippers still had harden and pg and Russ which is 3 hall of famers and you can't blame a team for beating a team that got injuries when that's apart of sports ...and 2 ...bruh OKC and Minnesota were literally 2 of the top 3 seeds so how is that something you can discredit ...they had a good run bro you can't act like you picked the mavs before the playoffs started last yr to make the finals
First time? When was this?
@@southernflavamakerthink he meant WCF
Gil never says anything that makes sense lol
Like?
@@freelunchbunch3106this whole video. Europeans are ruining the league and that’s just two.
The takes on his pods are so bad😂
I love Gil but I feel like he’s speaking a different language sometimes my guy just be chatting
That Mexico shirt tho 🔥
Arenas talking about winning is cute
He picked ant over the guy that destroyed him in the playoffs and is clearly better
Lukas attitude at times is very underwhelming
Ant plays both ends of the court and gives max effort....relax cupcake
@@twizzy585otsdoes ant really play both sides of the ball? Kyrie murdered him in the WCF
@Damianoutlaw 1st off that's cap...2nd you're speaking on arguably the most skilled player ever...3rd good offense beats good defense jrue the best defender in the league and got smoked by Jimmy butler...mj has been torched by many players etc
@@twizzy585ots what’s cap? Ant getting smoke in the Western Conference Finals or ant running out of gas against the Mavs?
i have a feeling at the end of the season klay might be coming of the bench not because he not playing well just because of fit he will come on for luka and they with change there offence to have more movement with kyre klay it would help them retain more of a threat on offence when luka is sitting and it help luka rest if he can just sit for 2-3 minutes a game
I think klay will be able at some point to get into a rythem as Kyrie and Luka get doubled he will be opened to knock down his 3s.
Going small hurts but if they can get the role players right . Klay sitting in the corner wide open sounds like a no brained. Kyrie and Klay can play off the ball all game . Luka no what to do with it.
It’s not about the offense it’s about the defensive side
You need versatile wing defenders since Luka don’t play/try defense
Kyrie tries enough on defense to hold his own
The OGs , Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
You mean so lubricated
Can't really argue against anything anyone said in this clip 💯
I JUST NO THAT DALLAS MAVS IS NOT GOING TO LET KLAY THOMPSON WEAR NUMBER 31 THATS JASON TERRY NUMBER & IT SHOULD BE IN RETIREMENT NO CAPPING
*KNOW
Not saying hes wrong but Gil answer for everything is size no matter what team he will always tell you they need to go bigger. Hes just mastered saying it in so many different ways
Naw bc size matters
@@CA3iNCit does but curry was the best player on team usa and he’s the smallest🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@GodisReal44418curry is a once in generation player why even bring him up
What is the team on Gil’s shirt? It looks Mexican but I can’t read the first word.
D wade went back to heat because he’s been there for all his career.
Heat going far in the playoffs
Doubt it
i remember gafford abusing that matchup to start one of the games gilligan
Why do people listen to Gil? In what world would any sane person take Ant Man over Luka?
To Gil's point i always thought, PG was the best teamate for Luka starting at SG.
Before this championship run i thought Ky for PG.
But Kys brought intangibles & Chemistry to the team
Kyrie outplayed PG at 6’2 😭
yeah another ball dominant player like PG is what is needed 😂 Kyrie scored 12, 16 pts first two games of thr Finals "intangibles" as in "not points or defense"
Klay had to play the way he did because Steph isn’t an elite passer and draymond isn’t a break the defense down off the dribble guy. So klay had to run around screens to get open he won’t have to get open he will be wide open. A top 5 3pt shooter in history will make open spot up shots on a high clip
Nah they need like a solid big
Celtics made like 70 3pts shots on a higher percentage than the mavricks 43 on a lower percentage
Antman wasn’t rattled vs Dallas ? wtf
These dude talking about Luka like they are the winning type players. Lol.
Luka don’t have a winning play style rn hopefully he can change
Rn he similar to harden in Houston
Need a more team oriented game
@@nitoshadow casual. Luka has reached the Finals. He was only too injured, Mavs too flawed compared to Boston who was the best team un the league. Harden never reached the Finals. Your comparison is very superficial to say the least. You see the step backs and you conclude they have they are similar. They are not similar beyond the step backs.
These dudes have no credentials to say Luka is not a winning player. Arenas has not won shit in the NBA. The other two are career role players. Not even close to what Luka is. They need to shut the f up.
@@louiesantos5027 just cuz ppl don’t agree with you that mean they a casual ? lol go watch some tape
I didn’t mention the step back you did
But yes that’s one thing on top of them holding the ball extremely long wastsing clock dribbling air out the ball plus not playing off ball
And Boston trusted each other and had ball movement that was a big difference the ball don’t get stuck in one player hand
If Luka want to play point he needs learn how to get his team involved early in the game
@@nitoshadow really a casual. Regirgutitating old false narrative. Luka playmakes for the Mavs, he does not hold the ball for no reason. If you really watch Mavs games you will know Luka gets his teammates involve.
@@louiesantos5027 Luka do play make but he looks for his shot first and he doesn’t know when to get his teammates involved
He isn’t a pg he don’t have game management like a pg
he more of a shooting guard that can pass
And it’s not old he still does the shit till this day u blinded by your love for him
Kyrie needs 2 be point guard, Klay needs to be SG and Luka needs to be a SF. Run the offense thru Kyrie. Kyrie needs 2 be like a point ppl need 2 get back to playing Team ball and not hero ball because if u rely just on 2 players u ain’t winning. Look at Boston they have Superstar along with other All-Star Caliber players who plays team ball that’s how you do it
Luka is not SF and he will never be. Why nobody asked Magic play SF?? Luka is PG and always was PG. Kyrie is odd man out just doesn't fit with Luka. Stop comparing to Lebron, totally different styles. Luka is closer to Magic type of player than Lebron
He needed tô run in Order tô get his shot off. Running is not the important thing here. He has luka and ky, he will have open looks.
And im a Phoenix fan BTW
Talk about defense, could klay keep up in defense? Unless everyone is shooting at 40% plus from 3s they wouldn't be able to win a ring without defense.
I think klay will go back to warriors, sorry Dallas fans.
Yea if you play him the same way he played in golden state he’s gonna be ass but put him next to mavs system with adjusted movement for klay both bc he’s great with movement but he’s too old to move as much like he did with the warriors. like how they past pros and don’t see that? klay gonna be fine on the offense
People don’t realize that Klay isn’t making star player money. He’s making less than 20 million a year. Which means that if he’s stinking it up, they will bench him and he’ll likely play with the second unit. But if he balls out and isn’t even making 20 million a year, then they’ll have a great chance to win it all. Either way, it’s good for the Mavs. If he plays bad, they’ll decrease his role, he’s not getting paid much anyway. If he balls out, then you’re getting tremendous value out of his contract.
I would let Ky run point,
Klay runs 2
Luka 3
Pj 4
Gafford 5
Taking the ball out of Luka hands will get a coach fired.
Nahh because if they Play Suns or Bucks and KD or Giannis plays the 3/SF, Luka will have a very very tough time
@@BrotherIsraelTopicskd and Giannis are unstoppable. No team can contain them.
@gregory its the only way I see it working. Klay one 3 chips being the 2 and 1 playing the 3. Kyrie won One playing the 1. Luka needs to play that Bron Position he wont get double teamed and gassed as much
Why you want guy who is most effective with the ball be without the ball?? What nonsense is that?
@@bedandbreakfast4033 kyrie better with the rock.
Lol I'm convinced haslem loves to hear himself speak. 🥷learn to stay quiet when asking a question or don't ask it lol? every podcast I see this guy do it and he's unwatchable. idk how you guys can even listen to that guy 🤦
